Baby's Twenty-Two Week Update


My Baking Time:

22 Weeks.

from BabyCenter.com

What's New:


Did you know that until this week you could see through my skin? Now it's getting something called opaque and all red and wrinkly. I'm starting to touch everything I can get my hands on - so many new things to explore!

How Big Am I:

A spaghetti squash.

from Google

My stats:


10.94 inches from crown to heel and 15.17 ounces

Doctor: 

This week we had the big ultrasound at the UVM Medical Center!
I wasn't very cooperative though; MawMaw Callicott laughed and said I was just like Daddy.
Momma and Daddy were happy to not know my gender, but I made them have to come back to see me again so the doctor can get more pictures of my heart and stuff.
I don't think they will mind seeing me again. 😜


At the OB this week we saw one of the midwives, Kristen Werner.
Momma had a good heart rate as usual, 120/76.
They talked about me misbehaving at the hospital ultrasound and listened to my heart beat...
145-155 bpm 😍

Movement:

Momma is feeling me more and more!

What is Happening On the Farm: 

Cousin Chaz turned 16 this week! Momma said that he was born when she was 16 so that makes her feel really old now.

Cousin Sophia had a half-day at school so she got to go see me on the ultrasound. She said she'll only babysit me if I'm a girl...guess we'll have to see what she thinks if I turn out to be a boy. (and no, Momma and Daddy still don't know what I am - I did a good job hiding it from the tech even! 😜 )

MawMaw Callicott, Gramma Briggs, Uncle Peter, Momma, Daddy, and a bunch of friends went to the sheep farm for their open house. Momma said I'm going to love the lambs just as much as she does when I'm bigger.

MawMaw was supposed to leave on Tuesday, but because of the big snow storm, Burlington airport shut down for 2 days, so she gets to stay until Saturday now! 😍

She had never been to a sugar house before so Sabbath afternoon everyone, except Grampa Briggs, went to our friends' down in Cornwall to watch them boil. Momma says it brings back fond memories of being in her grandpa's sugar house each Spring when she was little.







That's me...facing down












Fun Sabbath afternoon spent at our friends' sugar house



Hot dogs boiled in sap - yummy!
